Danmachi: Master of the Aegis

Quest 3: Outbreak! Monsters in Orario!

Last time Leo updated his Guild Advisor, Eina on what he had discovered within the Dungeon along with introducing Pyra. He then proceeded to return to his Familia's Manor to update his Goddess on what had transpired. Now he has been roped into a shopping trip for new equipment with his Goddess.

The sun had just risen, ushering in the start of another new day in Orario. Within the Twilight Manor, Leo was seen asleep in his bed, Pyra was sleeping in the bed on the other side of the room. Leo gently stirred before sitting up and letting out a gentle yawn before looking over at Pyra who was still fast asleep. "I should probably let her rest. I imagine Lady Loki won't come to kick down our door just yet." Leo thought to himself as he climbed out of bed before he opened his closet before rifling through his clothes. The blonde teen opted for a simple white button up shirt with brown pants and his adventuring boots. Leo then made his way over to the desk in the corner of his room where the journal he started on the lab sat.

            Leo sat down in the chair before opening the journal to the page he started on the Lethal Lysaats and King Lysaat he and Bell had encountered. "With the monsters of the lab being unknown as well, I will need to start compiling a Monster Encyclopedia for other Adventurers to utilize." Leo thought to himself as he began writing down information on the Lethal Lysaats under the sketch he drew of it. While he was absorbed in his writing, Leo failed to noticed that Pyra gently stirred before sitting up in bed, tiredly rubbing her eyes. Pyra looked over at Leo writing in his journal, a gentle smile spreading across her face. Pyra climbed out of bed as she thought of her usual outfit, her pajamas shining before changing into her usual outfit. Pyra walked up to her Driver, stopping behind him while peeking over his shoulder.

          "You really like keeping notes of everything don't you?" Leo looked up from his journal and over his shoulder at Pyra who was smiling at him warmly. An embarrassed blush spread across Leo's face as he let out an embarrassed cough. "Knowledge can be the greatest weapon a human can have, I believe it's important to document anything and everything you learn. You never know when it might help you or someone else." Leo said thoughtfully as Pyra gently hugged Leo from behind. Leo could feel the warmth radiating off the Blade's body. "I think it's wonderful you try to gather information to help others." Pyra said gently as Leo's eyes widened in surprise. Leo had never had someone compliment his pursuit of knowledge, most of the members of his Familia thought he was wasting his time gathering knowledge instead of pursuing strength.

          Before Leo could respond however, the door to the room burst open, a smirking Loki standing in the doorway. "How boring! Here I thought I would catch you two partaking in something risqué. Honestly Leo, you are the child of the Goddess of Mischief, partake in a little!" Loki said in a teasing tone as she smirked at the Driver and Blade. Pyra's face erupted into a crimson red blush as she quickly backed away from Leo. Leo turned in his chair to face his goddess before throwing his pencil at her. The writing tool collided with the goddess's forehead, causing her to let out a whine of pain. "Ow! What was that for?! Is that anyway to treat your goddess?!" Loki whined as she rubbed the sore spot on her forehead casting a hurt look towards Leo, who simply rolled his eyes.

           "That's for making such crass comments. Now what do you need Lady Loki?" Leo asked as he waited for his goddess to answer his question. Loki's mischievous smirk returned to her face as she rested her hands on her hips. "I'm taking you two to Babel! We need to get you outfitted with new equipment Leo, plus we could maybe stop in and watch the tournament today." Loki said in a sing song tone as Leo rolled his eyes before closing his journal and standing up from his desk before stretching. "Very well, Pyra are you ready to head out?" Leo asked as he gave his Blade a curious look. Pyra nodded her head in confirmation as Loki once again smiled at them. "Right then! Chop, chop! Let's get a move on children!" Loki said as she clapped her hands together, ushering the Driver and Blade out of the bedroom.
